Continuing Your
Employment Through Training

Hello and Welcome:

I want you to know there is a place for you here and jobs waiting for you if you want them.
Many apprenticeship jobs are available and employers are waiting to hire well-trained, quality
workers. The apprenticeship instructors and staff members are dedicated to helping you
succeed in your chosen occupation. Many graduates have gone on to very rewarding and
fulfilling careers after completing apprenticeship related training at the BATC.
BATC offers related training courses to support the on-the-job training provided by employers
for the following apprenticeship programs:
Electrician Apprentice
Plumber Apprentice
HVAC/R Service Technician Apprentice

Machinist Apprentice
Industrial Maintenance Apprentice
Industry Specific Apprenticeships

Individuals applying for admission into the related instruction courses should be a working apprentice
in all programs. Electrician and Plumbing Apprentices must be registered and licensed through the
State of Utah before continuing on past the first semester of schooling. Preliminary courses are
available to prepare individuals for an apprenticeship (see the current classes offered www.batc.edu).
Please see the apprenticeship course schedule and calendar in this packet for specific information on
apprenticeship course offerings. For additional information, contact Student Services at (435) 753-6780
or me at (435) 750-3255.
Sincerely,

Paul C. James
Apprenticeship Coordinator

APPRENTICESHIP OVERVIEW
APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS
Apprenticeships began in the middle ages as a way for skilled craftsmen to control who entered
and received education for their trades. Participating in an apprenticeship is an idea that is still in
fashion. Guilds were groups of craftsmen who banded together to ensure proper training of their
practitioners and guaranteed good wages for those who learned their skills. The method of an
apprenticeship is alive and well. BATC provides apprenticeship-related classroom instruction in a
variety of crafts within the career fields of construction and manufacturing. Apprenticeship
education is unique, because it combines paid on-the-job training by the employer and formalized
work-related classroom instruction.
EARN WHILE YOU LEARN
Apprentices are paid on a progressive wage scale while participating employers (also known as
sponsors) teach them leading edge, real-life work skills. These skills will enhance career success by
helping to increase wages and opportunities for advancement.
EDUCATION METHOD
You will receive technical and practical training in high skill occupations through a registered
apprenticeship. Registered apprenticeship is a highly flexible training model combining on-the-job
training and related classroom instruction. Registered apprenticeship education will help students:

Develop a successful career goal.

Get paid while learning.
Be well-trained in a career and not a dead-end job.
Gain nationally recognized work credentials.

Find out more and get started on the path to a registered apprenticeship program at this web site:
http://www.utahtraining.org/
Unlike other technical education programs at the BATC, in most apprenticeship programs two
semesters are offered each year: fall semester and winter semester. Each course takes one
semester to complete. You may enroll in only one apprenticeship course per semester; you are
required to complete two courses per year.
AAS Degree in Apprenticeship through Weber State University
By adding just eight classes23 credit hoursto the BATC apprenticeship training, you can now
earn an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree through an educational agreement with Weber
State University. For more information contact Geri Harames at (801) 626-7552,
geriharames@weber.edu , or the administrative assistant, 801-626-6303 or click here to find more
information.

CERTIFIED JOURNEY WORKER

Registered apprenticeships are formalized career training programs that offer a combination of
structured on-the-job training and related technical instruction to employees. Apprentices train in
occupations that demand a high level of skill. Apprenticeship training standards are industrydriven; an industry or program sponsor determines the skill requirements needed to build and
sustain a quality workforce.
Apprentices work and learn under the direction of experienced journey workers. Over time,
apprentices are provided the diversity and complexity of training that lead to becoming highly
skilled in their chosen occupations. As they gain skill, they are compensated through an increase in
wages. When the apprenticeship is complete, the apprentice will be eligible for a Certificate of
Completion of Apprenticeship from The United States Department of Labor.
To become a federally recognized and certified journey worker, an apprentice must complete these
steps:
1. Students and their employer must register with the Office of Apprenticeship(OA)
2. Complete all required on-the-job and classroom training.
3. Meet the state and/or OA requirements.
For apprenticeship registration information contact:
Office of Apprenticeship
Robert Bob Couse, State Director couse.robert@dol.gov
Patsy Miller miller.patsy@dol.gov
125 South State Street
Suite 2412
Salt Lake City, Utah 84138
(801) 524-5452
To receive a Certificate of Completion from the Office of Apprenticeship and to be recognized as a
certified journey worker, students must obtain an official college transcript as evidence of their
training at the college and present it to their employer. Their employer must mail their college
transcript and Application for Completion of Apprenticeship to the Office of Apprenticeship.
ELECTRICIAN AND PLUMBER LICENSE
Electricians and plumbers are required to obtain licensure through the Utah Division of
Occupational and Professional Licensing. To obtain licensing information and an application,
apprenticeship students need to contact:
Utah Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing
160 E. 300 South,
PO Box #146741
Salt Lake City, Utah 84114-6741

CLASS ATTENDANCE
An apprentice must attend at least 81 hours of the possible 90 class hours each semester. This 90%
attendance standard was established by employers and the Office of Apprenticeship. Any absences beyond
this point will result in the student being issued an Fail (F) grade. Students will then be required to retake the
course at their own expense.
The only excused absences are work-related absences. To be excused for work-related absences, a letter on
company letterhead signed by the apprentices immediate supervisor must be presented to the instructor
before the end of the week that the class was missed. A maximum of three work-related absences per
semester will be excused. To be marked present, students must be in class during their scheduled time.
Students are expected to verify their attendance weekly by checking with their instructors. The attendance
rolls may be changed within seven days. If students have any questions regarding their attendance, they
should see their instructor, or the apprenticeship program coordinator.
APPRENTICESHIP GRADING POLICY
A letter grade will be issued upon request if required by an employer for the purpose of tuition reimbursement
to the apprenticeship student. Contact your instructor for more information.
To receive a credit grade for an apprenticeship course, students must:

Maintain 90% attendance.

Complete all course work within the designated time.
Complete all written assignments and tests at 80% or higher.
Complete all lab projects to instructor and blueprint specifications.
Electricians and Plumbers must pass a Competency Exam at the end of each semester.
